Chuck Brodsky

With songs like "Blow 'Em Away," "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and "Talk to My Lawyer," Chuck Brodsky initially attracted attention for his biting sarcasm. But, as his albums demonstrate, Brodsky is equally skilled at storytelling with such modern ballads as "The Hands of Victor Jara," "Bill and Annie" and "Long Story Short." In addition, Brodsky has written several baseball-related tunes that have been included in the archives of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. These include "The Ballad of Eddie Klepp," about the only white man to play in the Negro Leagues of the 1940s, "Letters in the Dirt," which pays tribute to Richie Allen, and "Lefty," dedicated to Brodsky's childhood hero, Steve Carlton.
